最近发展区域理论视角下文本复杂度对于续译效果的影响研究

The Influence of Text Complexity on the Effect of Continuation Translation from the Perspective of the Zone of Proximal Development Theory

续译的协同促学效应已经得到证实,续译亦可提高翻译学习者的翻译水平,但尚未发现文本复杂度对于续译效果的影响研究。最近发展区域理论认为,学习者在最近发展区域内的调节最有效。通过定量研究与定性研究相结合,探讨续译的文本复杂度对于续译效果的影响。研究发现:在最近发展区域内,即用于续译练习的文本复杂度高于语言学习者的实际语言水平时,学习者调节充分,因此,学习者的翻译水平提升效果显著;文本复杂度低于或者等同于语言学习者的实际语言水平(即不在最近发展区域之内)时,学习者的调节空间有限,因此,尽管学习者的翻译水平有提升,但是效果不显著。

The synergistic promotion effect of the continuation translation has been confirmed,and the continuation translation also improve the translation level of the translation learners.However,the influence of the text complexity on the effect of the continuation translation has not been found.According to the theory of zone of proximal development(ZPD),mediation within language learners scope of ZPD brings out their optimal learning effects.Through the combination of qualitative research and quantitative research,the effect of the text complexity on the effect of continuation translation was discussed.The results show that:within the zone of proximal development,when the complexity of the text used for continuation translation practice is higher than the actual language level of the language learners,the learners have sufficient adjustment,so the translation level of the learners has a significant improvement effect;When the text complexity is lower than or equal to the actual language level of the language learner(that is,it is not within the zone of proximal development),the adjustment space of the learner is limited.Therefore,although the translation level of the learner has improved,the effect is not significant.
